Moffat's been writing for Dr. Who continuously since 2005, from "The Empty Child" in 2005 to "The Angels Take Manhattan" a couple of months ago (I'm so wikismart!). Which is great, because I agree with you about his ability to tell a story. I was seriously impressed by the story of River Song spanning a season and a half, and Moffat wrote most of the episodes about River. Artful the way River snuck in, seeming to be a minor character at first, and building slowly and subtly into a major character alongside the Master, Rose, and Captain Jack.

I have to admit that I think Tennant was the best Doctor. Maybe it was his ability to act like a grownup occasionally, where Matt Smith is more all Willie Wonka all the time. That's a quibble, though. After I was hooked by the latest incarnation of the show, I went back and watched about half the old episodes starting in 1964, and I do believe that the 21st century doctors are all the best doctors. Ever. Davies and Moffat and Tennant and Smith really kicked Dr. Who into high gear.
